  1. Re:Every person's right on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 1

    Thank you, I did not know that. I am just thinking of ways people could twist the law toward their anti-suicide perspective.

    Not all Catholics are insane and foaming at the mouth. Therefore you shouldn't say "Fuck Catholics" but instead "the person who wrote that article is a loony"

    Define sound mind. As this case revolves around Alzheimers, some people might think that Terry is not of sound mind. Personally, I would imagine he knows exactly what he is facing and has made what appears to be the only choice available. However, how would his family (if he has one) feel if he did it, and someone announced a breakthrough in treatment the next day...

  4. Re:Doesn't make sense considering iPod touch price on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 1

    I would believe that it has a GPS. You can't do road level navigation off the cell triangulation hack, it isn't that sensitive. The circle that shows when the phone is in triangulation mode is the size of a city block, so it would be utterly useless for real navigation.

    The lack of sensitivity has to do with the signal propagation of cell frequencies, they like to bounce around, so the timing isn't very good.

  5. Re:Google should sue Apple over patent infringemen on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the rest of the world has sane patent law. In the US what he said wouldn't surprise me. I say everyone should sue for patent infringement as much as possible to show how very broken the system is.

    I agree with the treatment comment Montezumaa made, but it is true that being the better of the two isn't a great goal when they both suck...

    I don't know what Verizon site you are looking at but I didn't have any problem finding smaller data plans than unlimited...

    http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=plans

    The phone plans are a bit more difficult to point to, but they have roughly the same data plan costs.

    Though it seems much more difficult for me to even look at the data plans anymore, but when I bought my DroidX a few months ago, the option was definitely there to pay less for less data, but I just feel unlimited is the better way to go. I just can't wait for Netflix, though I imagine it will only work through wifi which kind of defeats the purpose.

  8. Re:What the market will bear. on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 2

    The original problem is that if you buy a subsidized phone, and I don't, but we both sign up for 2 year contracts, our contracts cost the same. So why, if I buy the phone for full price, isn't the contract less expensive then?

    I don't read the dev blog or anything like that, but others in corp who do stated the same thing. It must have been some kind of announcement recently.

    Probably a Titan went offline during the DDoS and they are going to tackle him as soon as the game returns.

    Dear rest of the world,

    If you want to do business on the internet under your own laws, don't buy a fucking US TLD.

    Signed, the US.

  14. Re:Toss up on First Challenge To US Domain Seizures Filed · · Score: 1

    By having a .com, .org, .net or .us address, they are effectively doing business in the US. When you do business in the US, you have to follow US laws. as the web site seized is rojadirecta.org, I don't see a problem here. .org is a TLD of the US. Now, as there is a rojadirecta.es, I don't see what the problem is. Now, if the seizer is overturned (which it should be, a forum where people post is not liable for what is posted...slashdot.org should be just as exempt for all those counterfeit product trolls we have) then that will of course be a good thing.

    To recap, rojadirecra.org is an USA TLD, not a Spanish one, therefore they are subject to the US courts, not the Spanish ones.
